Multi channel input hookups
STR-DE595 only
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.
Notes
•When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the DVD player or multi channel decoder.
•See page 13 for details on speaker system hookup.

Speaker system hookup (continued)
Notes
•Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm (2/3 inch). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
•If you use speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the receiver.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
Stripped cords are not fully attached and are touching the rear panel of the receiver.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 20.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume before you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.

Performing initial setup
operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (page 20).
Clearing the receiver’s memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
“INITIAL” appears in the display. The following are reset to their factory settings.
•All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and TONE menus.
•The sound field memorized for each function and preset station.
•All sound field parameters.
•All preset stations.
•All index names for input selectors and preset stations.
•The master volume is set to “VOL MIN”.
Performing initial setup operations
Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 47. See pages 15–20 for speaker settings and pages 35–36 for other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.
When placing surround speakers to your side (long room)
